Our Daily Electronic Bread

BirthdayPalooza wasn't all about loozin'! Especially on the first night, halfway to visit The Pony. We had a free room for the night, and six casinos to tour. After the first one, where we enjoyed a small profit, Hick and I were both a bit below our starting bankroll each time we walked out the doors. Except for our last casino before heading back to the hotel.

This one was River Bend, in Wyandotte, Oklahoma. WINE-DOT, remember? Hope you are utilizing your Note To Self. We didn't stay long. In fact, we each only played ONE slot! And had our supper at their deli. We mainly stopped there to eat, and utilize our free play. It's all electronic now, you know. Already loaded on your card, just needing to be accessed with a PIN. Unless you go to our new favorite local casino, where they give you actual CASH!!!

Hick and I sat down side by side. We normally don't stay near each other in a casino, but we were planning to eat as soon as we used up our free play. It was already after 8:00 p.m., and we were feeling a mite peckish. I have a slot I like there, so Hick followed me, since it's near the deli. We each put in a twenty, and then accessed our free play by fighting with the tiny numbers to punch in on the player's card thingy. We were intending to play out the twenty as well, but we both hit bonuses on our respective slots.

"I've used my free play, and I have $22! I'm ready to stop any time you are!"

"I'm ready. I've got $20 and change."

So we cashed out and went to the deli. I had the Reuben sandwich, with a side of fries, and an added side of slaw. Because I could. It's not like we were spending $100 at a steakhouse. It was a casino deli, by cracky! Besides, this was BIRTHDAYPalooza, and mine was one of the birthdays we were celebrating.

Mmm. I'd never tried the Reuben sandwich here, but it did not disappoint! Yes, I took a bite before I stopped for a picture. It was pretty late for supper around these parts, where my mom always had supper on the table at 5:10.

Hick had a burger and fries. He's not very adventurous or even interesting. He IS an avid eater, and I could barely get him to set the burger down long enough for a picture.

There's Hick's "plate." I guess he's puttin' on airs, thinkin' he's too good to eat out of the plastic basket. The fries may look burned, but I assure you, they were not. They were crispy and delicious, and not at all healthy. As if we cared. I've never understood why Hick gets two cups half-full of ketchup, rather than one full cup. It's not like I care about him wasting paper. I, myself, use double cups so the ketchup doesn't squeeze out when I carry them.

After eating, we headed back to our hotel casino. Next time we go to River Bend, I'm getting a Reuben!
